I'll Hold You in My Heart

Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]

(Vic McAlpin - Eddy Arnold - Howard Horton)



I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms

Like you'd never been held before

I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away

Till you are in my arms once more.



The stars up in the sky know the reason why

I feel so blue when I'm away from you

I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms

So darling, please wait for me.



(The stars up in the sky know the reason why)

I feel so blue when I'm away from you

I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms

So darling, please wait for me...
